Paws on Demand lets you check out shelter pets

Looking for a new canine or feline friend? Don’t have time to take off work and visit the shelter every day searching for a new pet? Well technology is about to make that search a whole lot easier. The San Antonio Humane Society and Time Warner Cable are teaming up to showcase adoptable dogs and cats on its newest on demand feature, Paws On Demand, exclusively on San Antonio On Demand Channel 988.

Paws On Demand features short video clips of the playful pooches and frisky felines, as well as detailed information on adopting the pets through the San Antonio Humane Society. The clips can be found on San Antonio On Demand Channel 988 under the “Community” category.

“With Paws On Demand, viewers can browse adoptable pets and get a feel for their personality, before even making a trip to the shelter,” said Gavino Ramos, vice president of communications, Time Warner Cable South Texas.

To kick-off the new program, Time Warner Cable is donating $1 to the San Antonio Humane Society for every view of Paws On Demand pets throughout the month of September, up to $3,000.

So even if you are not adopting a pet right now, you can still help the Humane Society by visiting Paws on Demand and watching a few of the adorable pets in need of homes.
